Best for

Tyers who want one order to cover a range of fly body colors, since this pack ships as 10 separate colors rather than a single shade, and anyone tying at line weight 4 for smaller trout and panfish patterns.

Skip if

Skip this if you only tie flies in one specific color and do not need variety, or if your patterns call for heavier line weights than 4, since the thread here is sized for lighter, smaller fly work.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview

A fly tyer restocking a bench for the season often needs more than one thread color, and this pack of 10 packs in 10 colors solves that in a single order. Priced at $9.99, it carries a 4.5-star rating across 343 reviews and shows 50+ bought last month, the strongest recent-purchase figure among the fly tying materials compared here.

The 1mm PET thread is rated for line weight 4, which puts it toward smaller trout, panfish, and light freshwater patterns rather than bulkier saltwater ties. Against the Hareline NB377, priced at $18.06 with a 4.2-star rating across 550 reviews and its own 50+ bought last month, this option costs about half as much and edges it out on rating, though the NB377 ships in a single white shade rather than 10 colors. The Hareline CDC28 at $7.95 and 4.0 stars across 359 reviews is a different material entirely, built for cul de canard feather work rather than thread.

For anglers who like to keep multiple thread colors on hand without ordering each one separately, the 10-color spread and sub-$10 price make this a practical restock. Tyers committed to a single specialty color, or those needing a heavier gauge thread, should look at a dedicated single-color spool instead.

Pros

  • 10 separate colors in one pack cover most standard fly body needs without extra orders
  • 50+ bought last month is the only recorded recent-purchase figure this high among the compared materials
  • 4.5-star rating across 343 reviews is a large sample paired with a strong average
  • Priced at $9.99, about half the $18.06 cost of the Hareline NB377
  • 1mm PET thread at line weight 4 suits smaller trout and panfish patterns
  • Listed as InStock and ready to ship

Cons

  • Line weight 4 sizing is not built for heavier saltwater or big streamer work
  • 343 reviews is fewer than the 359 and 550 counts on two comparison materials
  • Ten colors in one pack means less of any single shade than a dedicated single-color spool
  • PET material specifics beyond thickness are not detailed beyond the 1mm size

Performance notes

A 1mm PET thread rated for line weight 4 sits on the finer end of the spectrum, which suits smaller dry flies, nymphs, and panfish patterns where bulk at the head or body needs to stay minimal. Splitting the pack into 10 distinct colors means a tyer can match natural body tones, from olive to tan to black, without carrying ten separate spools purchased one at a time. Because the material is PET rather than a natural fiber, it should behave consistently spool to spool, which matters when color-matching a specific pattern across multiple flies. The line weight 4 rating does mean this thread is better matched to lighter rod setups and smaller hooks than to bulkier saltwater ties, so tyers working larger streamer patterns will want a heavier-gauge thread instead.

What buyers say

A 4.5-star rating across 343 reviews paired with 50+ bought last month is a notable combination in this comparison set, since it is the only material here showing both a large review base and a recorded recent-purchase figure that high. The Hareline NB377 also shows 50+ bought last month but carries a lower 4.2-star average across more reviews at 550, while the Hareline CDC28 and Hareline Natural Elk Hair show no bought-last-month figure at all. That pattern suggests this thread is both well-reviewed and currently moving, rather than a product with a strong rating but fading demand.

Frequently asked questions

How many colors are included in this fly tying thread pack?

The pack ships as 10 packs covering 10 different colors, so a single order can cover a range of fly body shades instead of buying each color separately. That makes it useful for tyers who rotate between several patterns and want matching thread on hand for each one.

What line weight is this thread rated for?

It is rated for line weight 4, which fits smaller trout, panfish, and light freshwater patterns rather than heavier builds. Tyers working saltwater flies or bulky streamers that call for a thicker gauge will likely want to pair this with a heavier thread instead.

Is this thread currently a popular seller?

Yes, it shows 50+ bought last month alongside a 4.5-star rating across 343 reviews, which together is a stronger combination of recent purchase volume and rating than any other fly tying material in this comparison, including the well-reviewed Hareline NB377.
